String art pendants and earrings were popular a while ago (see links below). If you like them, you have to check out this marvelous tutorial by Erin Norris who has an Etsy store called Stealth and Aces.
The large spirograph inspired pendant is different from the jewelry I wrote about before. It is created from circular plastic canvas and embroidery floss.
Erin says she had to experiment a lot to figure out how to string the thread in color sections. As you can see the results are just wonderful. Shown here are some of her creations. So head on over and check out all her tips and tricks so you can make your own.
I also love what her blog banner reads - " Refusing to be constrained by a single medium". Great line by a highly creative individual.

What a fabulous article and tutorial! Can't wait to try this - with wire, of course!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!!!! I can't wait to make one. I am so glad I did not give my plastic canvas circles to my sister when she asked for the canvas I wasn't using. I knew they would come in handy. I think they will make marvelous christmas ornaments for the swap I am in. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

The wire ones are really pretty. But Taerie is right, the plastic canvas ones will also make awesome Christmas ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of was christmas ornaments, too. This is a great tute. Thank you (once again) for the info!

So glad to see this featured! I know Erin worked hard on it. They become easier to make the more you do, as well.
ReplyDeleteShe has a wonderful sense of color and pattern! We are all grateful she took the time to share it.
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking that you could carefully add a little charm in the middle by adding a jump ring to one of the strings.
ReplyDeleteThe link to the tutorial doesn't work. It takes you to a funky search engine site.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. Erin's blog was moved so I have relinked to the correct page.
